Jazz trumpeter Marcus Printup joined jazz harpist Riza Printup and her band as they led an interactive performance for Ursuline School middle- and high-school students in New Rochelle.
For these student musicians, the chance to perform the blues in front of the entire school with world-renowned musicians was an opportunity to stretch outside their comfort zone and grow as artists.
Riza Printup has performed with numerous jazz greats as well as with Yo-Yo Ma, Lady Gaga and soprano Kathleen Battle. In addition to performing and recording, she is also a dedicated educator. Marcus Printup is a member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and has worked with Betty Carter and Wynton Marsalis, among other jazz greats.
The Ursuline School is an all-girls, Roman Catholic, independent college preparatory school, grades 6-12, celebrating its 125th year.
